IC Green and iodine allergy

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience in determining if IC green and iodine allergies are truly a concern? We use EPIC and recently realized it doesn't fire an allergy warning in the event of IC Green order being placed on a patient with an iodine allergy documented. When I look further into it, it seems as though the jury is out on whether it is truly a concern or not. Has anyone else investigated this and come to a solid conclusion? Thanks in advance!
